bonjour from paris!

i am very angry. i just wrote a two stupid page blog which took a very long time only to have this dumb french keyboard delete it all and there is no "back" button. it was a long lovely letter about all of the things i have seen so far.

instead i will tell you what i did today: i visited the chatea of Varseilles- home of Marie Antoinette! It was so beautful and gradiose-everything is overthetop. I had an audioguide tour through all of the rooms and bedchambers, and they gave you very interesting factual historic information. And this time i got to see her own village/chateau which is separate from Varseilles. It is briefly in the movie but just for a second (her getaway after her first daughter is born). Wow it was breath-taking! There is a petite little village with a farm and a little walled city as quaint as can be. I could just imagine the movie reeling through my head. i will have to watch it again soon because it made me so happy to discover it... it was if it was lost in the woods and never seen. unfortunately my camera does not catch everything i see...

As always with adventures includes making mistakes, learning from them and hopefully not repeating the same one twice. I will admit there were a few times when i got lost on the metro, in the street, didnt know how to say something, but the important thing is im figuring it out on my own and the more mistakes i make, the less it really matters.

love & wish you were here!!!
xoxoxo.
